[SOLVED] How to give public access to member's email form?

I'm a newcomer to CB, but so far I've worked through the software, and it all looks pretty good.

However, I'm struggling with this. My client is a group of businesses, a new industry-standards body. On their web site they want to list their members in a publicly accessible directory and allow direct contact from visitors to member businesses. I can publish the contact details I want, including phone and email addresses, but I'd prefer to use the 'Send eMail' link that pops up a form.

Here's the problem: the directory is publicly accessible, but clicking the 'Send email' link whilst not logged in takes the visitor to a 'You are not authorized' message.

How can I make the email form accessible to site visitors who aren't logged in? I have been through the documentation, but either it's not there, or, more likely, I just haven't understood the process. Please help!

We've no such plugin, but there's a 3rd party plugin called CB Public Mail you may want to check out. Believe you can find it in our directory below.

Got it - thanks!

A suggestion for future development: Modify the existing 'Send Mail' form so that it can (optionally) be displayed to public visitors. Then it can be actioned directly from a list, rather than having to call up the profile page.

Other than that - all good. Thank you!
